“The Face Of Bach is a website devoted to the portraits of Johann Sebastian Bach, and to the fair and accurate analysis of the various images that purport to be accurate depictions of the facial features of Johann Sebastian Bach.

As I continue to develop this site, I hope to offer thorough evaluations of the various Bach portraits and to provide information on the source materials that are the foundation for any discussion of the portraits of Johann Sebastian Bach. ..“

“Explore the musical world of Jacob van Eyck (c1589/90-1657), one of the most remarkable figures in Dutch musical life during the Golden Age: a nobleman, blind from birth, widely known as a carillonneur, leading expert in the field of bell casting and tuning, and... admired as a brilliant recorder virtuoso. His demanding solo variations, preludes and fantasias from Der Fluyten Lust-hof are both loved and feared by recorder players today, all over the world. ..” Visit website for more information. (ed.)

"Brad Leissa created this web site in 1995, in an attempt to make information on Handel (the man, the composer, and his music) more accessible to the ever-growing internet community. In May 2001 the English Handel musicologist David Vickers joined this effort as co-producer of GFHandel.org.

In our opinion, Handel deserves unequivocal recognition as one of the greatest composers, comfortably equal in artistic stature to other 18th century figures such as J.S. Bach, F.J. Haydn, W.A. Mozart, etc. We hope this web site serves as a valuable resource for both Handelian scholars and enthusiasts.

We aim to maintain accuracy in our presentation of musicological information about Handel, and give references to musicological publications whenever possible. Nevertheless, if you spot any errors or wish to submit constructive comments, please contact us. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

“This site was built primarily from the contribution of lutenists, in the course of the past ten years. It now seeks to reach a wider audience in the early music world. Most of the material, consequently is lute-related, but this should not discourage non-lutenists from adding their contributions, quite to the contrary. Contributions are welcome for any material, - scores, societies information, musicians' biographies, news, CD reviews, etc. - that relate to the Early Music world broadly understood.

It is my hope that this framework will not only prove adequate for your contributions, but grow with them, and keep on evolving in the directions that you set, to serve you best. At this time, the site is still very much under development and this is an ideal time for you to help gear it in the right direction! “

“After enjoying the traditional English and European dance music of Blowzabella for many years, I finally succumbed to the temptation of learning to play the hurdy-gurdy myself. I own a Symphonie from Chris Allen in the UK and have an electro-acoustic hurdy-gurdy on order from Denis Siorat in France. Previously, I rented a Gotschy Phoenix and am taking lessons from René Meeuws in Nijmegen.

"The Dulcian or Curtal is the renaissance predecessor of the bassoon, developed in the first half of the 16th century. The Dulcian has the conical expanding bore from the Shawm, and the folded two parallel bores from the Sordune and Kortholt.

Like many other instruments in the renaissance, Dulcians were made in a family, soprano until contrabass. The smaller instruments up to the bass, are in general made from one piece of wood. Larger instruments are in many cased made from two or three pieces of wood.

In the 17th century, the small Dulcians are getting less and less important. At the same time the baroque Bassoon is developed, while the bass Dulcian is still in use.
A special situation is found in Spain1, where still in the 19th century various sizes Dulcians are in use. ... " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

“ .. . As this page has grown in both content and scope, it has been necessary for me to reevaluate my goals for this site. As such, it has been (and remains!) the goal of this site to present as accurately and objectively as possible information about the cittern and all things pertaining to it. It is my wish that this page will be a source of information for people who know nothing about the cittern as well as an on-line resource for both scholars and players alike. Since Internet download times have largely decreased due to advancing technology, I have tried to make use of that technology while still keeping wth my original goal of having as few "frills" as possible in order to present quick and ready access to the information on these pages. .. “

“This web site began on September 22, 2002, several years after I started playing Native American Flutes. I had started collecting resources on playing and making flutes that begged to be shared, and the Web was the best way to share this information. The original site, FluteKey.com, was a simple list of resources, including sheet music, fingering diagrams, measurements of the Anasazi flutes from the Broken Flute Cave, samples of the sounds of flutes in various keys, an on-line version of the NAFlutomat program to assist flute makers with construction measurements, and various sundry information.

Response was dramatic and traffic grew quickly. People were hungry for information! We continued to post topics over the years, largely in the realm of resources as opposed to actual flute instruction. …”
